jetztsofort Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hey guys, a few days ago I've successfully installed Zephyroth's AMD Leopard (Athlon 3200) and I have a problem: My GeForce 6600GT has got one DVI and one VGA output. I've got two monitors: one 20" plugged in by DVI and one 19" plugged in by VGA. When I start with both monitors plugged in, he only uses the 19" (VGA) screen and "detect Monitors" doesn't help. When I've just plugged in the 20" (DVI) it uses the 20"-Screen. When I start the system with both monitors, move my mouse to "detect Monitors", plug the 19" (VGA) out and click, my 20" gets a signal and works. Seems, that my system can only use one monitor. Also it's shown only one monitor in the hardware-profiler (see attachment). But he prefers the the VGA-Monitor. I've right now installed Natit and the GeForce and NVidia stuff with my device id (I think). I also tried titan and NVInject, but nothing works. Can you help me? Greetings, Christian.

-aKy- Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 use a dvi to vga converter for your dvi-monitor. dvi-vga won't work in dual-screen but vga-vga will. This means that both monitors need to be plugged in via vga cables, you mustn't use a dvi cable.

PrometheusInc Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 hi there guys; got the same card -> 6600gt, but different vendor (=gigabyte), but souldnt matter that hard! I got the same dualView trouble like the rest of us. The Tipp using the VGA converter on the DVI socket really did it. Just plugin the Converter! Goto Preferences -> Display ..., wait a sec .... and viola ... your second Mon. is coming to life ... given that you graphics card was successfully detected!
